What does a Marriage Celebrant do?
As well as attending to legal obligations and conducting the actual wedding celebrants can assist in personalizing the ceremony to your wishes, suggesting meaningful arrangements and providing some good realtionship principles.

What are the legal obligations?
You must be 18 years of age or over (unless special consent is given).
You must hand the Notice of  Intended Marriage form at least one month in advance of the ceremony to your celebrant. On the day of your marriage you must have two witnesses over the age of 18.  Further information is available on the Attorney General's website and can be discussed in the first, obligation free meeting with your celebrant.   http://www.ag.gov.au/www/agd/agd.nsf/Page/Marriage

Documents required for sighting by the celebrant-
Birth certificates or, if unobtainable, overseas passport issued by country of birth. Otherwise a statutory declaration may be required.  Other documents may be required to be sighted in special cases.
